assembly sequencing

[ThijsC]

Hi,

I've made a assembly sequencing in nx8, but I want that some of the motions are performed at the same time. Is this possible in Siemens nx? I've looked in the details of the motion and there you have the start frame, is it possible to adjust that value?

Thanks
Thijs

No, Assembly Sequencing is just what it implies, a SEQUENCE of motions applied to the Components of an Assembly executed in a serial fashion. Now by defining the appropriate Assembly Constraints, which allows motion between Components, you can simulate the motion of a mechanism where multiple parts are all moving at the same time, but they must all be driven from a single motion applied to a single Component.
